Chapter 197: The Ghost Strikes the Wall
"Ah Ling, she's gone!"
Because she was in a hurry, Zhang Fang's voice was full of crying.
He Wandong frowned and said, "Didn't you deliberately stay here to accompany her, how could you disappear all of a sudden?"
"At first, she stayed in the room and refused to come out, so I talked to the cuckoo for a while. When I went back to look after a while, I found that there was no one in the room!"
Ling Zikai comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, maybe she was bored and panicked, and walked around in the forest." I'll be back when it's almost dark. ”
Zhang Fang still said uneasily: "But it's been three or four hours, and I haven't come back yet." She hasn't even eaten lunch yet!"
Ling Zikai looked around and asked, "What about my sister?"
Seeing that Ah Ling hadn't come back for so long, the cuckoo girl was afraid that she would get lost, so she went to the nearby mountains and forests to look for her. I've been there for more than an hour, and I haven't come back yet? Zikai, will you encounter any danger when you take her?"
"Aunt Zhang, there have not been any fierce animals in the mountains around here, and He Ling will not have any accidents. Why don't I look for it!"
Ling Zikai specially instructed again: "Uncle He, Aunt Zhang, you must stay here, but don't go out to look for it." It's getting dark, and you're not familiar with the terrain around here, so it's easy to get lost as you walk around in the woods. Don't bring Ah Ling back then, you're gone again."
Seeing that Ling Zikai said it cautiously, He Wandong and his wife, who originally wanted to go out to look for it, had to give up the idea in their hearts.
When Ling Zikai arrived at the stable, he didn't see the black-maned red horse, probably because he was ridden away by Sister Du Juan.
After pulling out the white horse, Ling Zikai did not immediately enter the mountain forest, but rode a horse to find a secluded place and stopped.
Then he let go of the ancestral god consciousness, centered on himself, and spread around, enveloping all the mountains and forests within a radius of ten miles in the extended range of consciousness, and began to search carefully.
It's just that after searching for a while, Ling Zikai frowned, in his consciousness, he only saw Lin Xing'an and Zhang Nan walking on the way home, but he didn't find He Ling at all. Moreover, even the cuckoo who went out to look for it did not see it.
It's hard to do now!
At most, my consciousness can only extend to the current range. If it is a straight-line distance, it can be extended to a distance of fifty miles. It's just that without knowing where He Ling is going, which direction should he search.
Just as he was hesitating, there was a sound of eagles chirping in the sky. A white figure flew in from afar. It seemed that after seeing himself, he swooped down from the air and stood on the ground a meter away, but it turned out to be the female white eagle.
Seeing this sudden white eagle, Ling Zikai had a whim in his heart and said, "Big white eagle, you fly so high and your eyesight is so good, have you seen anyone in this forest!"
The big white eagle flapped its wings a few times and shook its head a few times, looking a little dazed, not knowing what Ling Zikai was talking about.
Ling Zikai patted his head and said, "I'm really a little dizzy!"
Immediately, he dived his consciousness into the mind of the big white eagle and conveyed the words he just said to the other party.
This time, the big white eagle seemed to understand what Ling Zikai meant, flapped its wings and rushed into the air, and after circling for a while, it let out a chirp and flew in one direction.
Seeing this, Ling Zikai sighed lightly, and said in his heart: Could it be that it really found someone in the forest?
However, Ling Zikai did not immediately set off and rushed in the direction where the big white eagle flew, but let go of his consciousness and followed the past.
Just when the figure of the big white eagle stopped in mid-air and did not move, Ling Zikai's consciousness also extended to the mountain forest where it was circling, and he saw Sister Cuckoo riding a black-maned red horse, but she was the only one, and it seemed that He Ling had not been found.
Ling Zikai regained consciousness and rode his horse in the direction where the cuckoo was.
After a while, I saw the figure of the cuckoo.
Ling Zikai greeted him and shouted, "Sister!"
Seeing Ling Zikai, Du Juan was not much surprised, and obviously guessed the purpose of Ling Zikai coming out at this time. When I came to him, I subconsciously asked, "Hasn't He Ling gone back yet?"
Ling Zikai nodded and said, "Sister, where do you say she will go?"
Du Juan thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, if she is not familiar with life, she can't go too far, and she must still be within the scope of Yunhai Forest Farm." Moreover, it's still daytime, so you shouldn't get lost. Unless it's a daytime detention!"
Ling Zikai asked puzzledly, "What is a day detention?"
"When many people walk in the mountains, they suddenly can't tell the direction and don't know where to go, so they always go in circles. The old people said that they had met a dayghost, lost their minds, and were detained in that place. Unless someone passes by that place and wakes him up, he will go around there forever and will not be able to get out. ”
"You're talking about ghosts hitting the wall!"
Ling Zikai came to his senses.
This so-called "ghost hitting the wall", Ling Zikai has heard adults talk about it since he was a child, and it is regarded as a mysterious supernatural event.
When I was in college, there was a student who had this kind of thing on campus, and at night, he kept circling around the playground. Later, he accidentally fell into a nearby pool and drowned.
At that time, there was a lot of buzz on campus, and there were all kinds of theories. For this reason, the school has also held a workshop to explain why this phenomenon is happening.
One expert concluded that it was caused by an error in the brain's correction function.
The essence of biological motion is circular. Normally, when we walk, we use our eyes to constantly correct the direction, that is, our brain is doing positioning and correction. However, when a ghost hits the wall, the person concerned loses his sense of direction or loses his reference. The correction function of the human eye and brain is non-existent, or the correction signal given is false and confused. Although I feel like I'm walking in a straight line, I'm actually walking according to instinct, and when I come out, it's bound to be a circle.
Another professor of biology explained from a biological point of view: Because there are subtle differences in the body structure of living things, and there are also differences in the length and strength of people's two legs, the distance of such a step will be different, for example, the distance of the left leg is long, and the distance of the right leg is short.
In some fixed places, such as cemeteries and graves, there are often ghosts hitting the walls, which makes people feel more mysterious, and they all think that they have encountered ghosts. In fact, this is because the markers in these places all look similar, which is more likely to confuse people's brains.
In fact, when you encounter a ghost hitting the wall, the best way to deal with it is to stop, don't panic, concentrate everything, and identify a reference object to move forward. It would be best if there was a compass.
"Sister, you think too much, where can there really be ghosts here!"
Ling Zikai saw that the vast twilight had fallen in the mountains, and the outlines of the distant mountains and trees were a little blurred, so he said, "Sister, as long as He Ling didn't go too far, I would definitely be able to find it." You go back first, and let the family rest assured that they will wait. ”
Cuckoo thought for a moment and nodded. She knew that if Ling Zikai's ability couldn't be found, it would be useless even if more people came out to look for it. After telling Ling Zikai to pay attention to safety in the mountains and forests at night, he rode back.
After the cuckoo left, Ling Zikai once again used his consciousness to search within a radius of ten miles, but still found no trace of the cuckoo. He wanted the white eagle to fly high again to see if there was anything else to discover. When I looked up, I found that the big white eagle had long been gone, probably thinking that after finding the cuckoo, I had completed the task and flew away alone.
Ling Zikai smiled bitterly and said to himself: "You really think that big white eagle can understand human nature and know who you are looking for!"
According to common sense, when you are in an unfamiliar environment, out of fear of the unknown, you will instinctively choose the places you have been. Based on this speculation, after He Ling came to the sea of clouds, the only place she went to was Weiyang Lake.
It's just that in the afternoon, Ling Zikai and the others stayed there, and they didn't find her!
Ling Zikai hesitated, perhaps, when this girl saw herself, she hid far away, not wanting to meet us?
Thinking of this, Ling Zikai let go of his consciousness and extended to Weiyang Lake.
However, when he realized the shore of Daweiyang Lake, he saw another scene:
I saw that the reindeer living on the shore of the lake were gathering together at the moment, leaning inward, their heads not facing outward, forming a circle, and they looked a little nervous. And around them, there were five or six wild wolves.
Ling Zikai immediately recognized the big bad wolf headed by him, and felt a burst of surprise in his heart.
At the beginning, he had no choice but to drive the big bad wolf out of the Yunhai Forest Farm, and Ling Zikai actually felt a little unbearable in his heart.
I thought they had returned to the old forest, but I didn't expect them to still wander in the nearby mountains and forests.
First of all, the wolves were much thinner than when they were brought back from the old woods. In the nearby forests, there are newly cultivated artificial forests. There were very few wild animals that were originally active in it, and these wild wolves had been here for so long, even if they hadn't hunted them all, the rest would have run out long ago.
The wolves had not caught their prey for a long time, and they could not bear the hunger in their bellies, so they set their sights on the reindeer that had come out of the old forest with them.
It's just that these reindeer are obviously not easy to mess with, they seem to be tame and honest, and when their lives are threatened, they burst out into the wild. In addition, their bodies were taller and stronger than the wild wolves, and those wild wolves launched several tentative attacks, all of which were repelled by them.
The big bad wolf who had been nourished by Ling Zikai with the energy of the ancestral god was much stronger than his other companions in terms of scheming and physique. It did not attack with the others, but stood by and observed the reindeer, as if trying to find out the flaws in the other party.
Eventually, the big bad wolf stared at the doe led by the reindeer herd with glowing eyes, apparently deciding that once it was killed, the other reindeer would not be enough to resist the attack of his side.
Just when it waited for a good opportunity to launch an attack and wanted to pounce on it, a familiar feeling appeared in its mind, and the body that had just jumped up stopped abruptly.
